Could It Be

Chapter 14

Esme's P.O.V.

The one thing i was thinking that I'd never find has been standing in front of me since Tuesday night. It is now Thursday and I just nkw put some pieces together to figure out that Bella is my mate. Thats why when we were curled together she was able to calm me down while nobody else shoukd have. My mate has been scrubbing herself from invisible hands for two days.

Someone has been touching my mate.

That makes me mad. That makes me want to... Makes me want to kill someone or people. They broke her arm. They left bruises on her perfect body.

I run out of my room and to the kids.

"Who did this? Who did this to her? I want to know now so I can go kill them slowly and painfully!"

"Well I guess she figured it out guys." Alice says.

"Esme you need to calm down because your mate is about to breakdown again because you left her alone. We will talk in a little bit after Bella falls asleep." Jasper says.

Oh my gosh i left my mate. I'm a terrible person. I run back upstairs and to my room to see Bella on the floor crying. I quickly go to her and wrap my arms around her. She throws her arms around me and puts her face in my neck. I start whispering to her.

"Im sorry I left like that. I forgot about something in the oven. I wont leave you again. You need to calm down and relax so you can get some clothes on that way you wont catch a cold. Then we can lay down in bed after you eat to rest." I say to her.

She slowly starts to calm down and then nods into my neck and then pulls back but not letting go of my neck. We both stand up and then I walk us over to my closet and then she lets me go and looks around. She picks out a pair of basketball shorts and then a tank top. She drops her towel and puts a bra and underwear on then puts on the clothes that she picked out. She turns back to me and grabs my hand and then leads us out of the room and down to the kitchen.

I must say that those clothes looks great on her. The tank top hugs her body just right and if we were closer I wouldnt be able to control myself.

I take the lead and pull her out a chair so that she can sit. I then walk over to the fridge and pull out some fruit since she just ate breakfast like two hours ago. I walk over to her and pull out the seat besides her and hand her the fruit. She happily eats and her casted arm is resting on my knee.

I was off in my thought when suddenly Bella's notepad is sitting in front of me with words.

What do you do for a living?

"I'm a home designer and make homes." I tell her.

She looks at me shocked and then happy. She nods her head and then writes again.

Doesnt surprise me. I can see it in your eyes how you were looking at the home designer magazines. You love your job.

"Yes i do Bella. I find it as my happy place and I enjoy it. Making someone or some family happy with a nice home or their dream house. It makes me feel good." I say to her and look into her eyes.

She smiles at me and leans over and kisses me on the cheek then looks down at the ground. She then stands up and grabs my hand and leads me into the living room with everyone else. She drags me over to the couch and she sits down then pulls me down besides her basically on her.

"What would you like to watch Bella?" Jasper asks.

She shrugs her shoulders and then looks to them. They nod their heads and pick out a movie. We all start to relax and Bella leans into me and quickly falls asleep.

"We think it was Mike Newton today that grabbed her and the day before at her locker. Then Alice and I found Lauren and Jessica groping her and trying to take advantage of her in the locker room for PE. We will get them back for doing that to her Esme we promise. Now the lunchroom was some rando that wanted to acted cool. Also we have no clue who was the person with the paint balloon was." Rosalie says.

I look down to Bella and then back to them.

"How long have you all known?" I ask.

"The day she arrived here in Forks." Alice says.

I don't say anything else and just study my mate.

Bella's P.O.V.

Is it bad to kind of like a married lady? I have never in my life liked somebody so I dont know if its had or not but i think it is. Esme is so nice to me and takes care of me but she's married and I shouldn't be feeling this way towards her. It may just be the medicine that Carlisle has me on, her husband.

I fall asleep pretty fast and cuddle closer to the softness besides me. I'm not really dreaming of anything except for Esme. I really need to watch myself because ive only known the lady for not even a full three days and i already like her.

I'm being shook awake and when i open my eyes I see Esme looking down at me. I look around and see that everyone else is still watching the movie so I look back up at her.

"I need to work on a persons home. I have to design it still and I gltta turn it in in two days." She says.

I sit up all of the way and she stands up and I stand up with her. She leads the way to her office and I sed previous blueprints and blueprints jn the making everywhere. She walks over to her desk and I see that she is planning on a big house. I sit down on the floor besides her and look at some of the older houses she has designed.

Its quiet in the room and a few minutes later I fall back to sleep.
